Aurielle Adravendi

As the previous fight’s results were announced, and the ring cleared, the woman waited at the edge until the next contenders came to face each other. Aurielle stood between them now, flicking a glance between the two as she called above to the audience. “In the ring now stand Elba and Torrent. May the best fighter win.” She turned her attention to the two opponents as she added in a voice for them, “The first to step, fall, or be pushed outside the ring of stones you see around you here loses immediately. I expect a fair fight regardless. Good luck, and have fun.” She padded out of the Sixty-foot diameter ring, whirling suddenly back upon her tracks with a sudden ringing shout of “FIGHT!” Walk ---- "Speak" ---- "Labhair an Sean-Teanga." ---- "Hear" ---- Think

Elba bounded down to the arena the moment she found out that it was her turn. She practically moved in gazelle like leaps in order to get there as quickly as possible. She wasn't usually this level of excited for most things, but this would be her first real spar since they got to Boreas so she was very excited to see how their fights were done here and if they did anything new or different she could learn from. She got to her spot in the ring and stood before the woman that would end up being her opponent and saw that they were pretty similar in build, but the other woman - who she soon learned was named Torrent - was a good bit taller than she was. It didn't phase her too much though, she was still just as excited. She got down into the defensive stance she had learned in her early training and waited for the moment that Aurielle gave them the signal to fight and then sprang into action right away. She lacked the grace and assuredness in her movements that a more seasoned fighter would have, but she tried to make up for it with speed and confidence. She moved with that same sort of leaping run that had brought her down to the arena in the first place until she had put herself close enough to Torrent to be able to make her first attack. When she was close enough, Elba attempted to leap up onto her hind legs, spreading them a bit to give her a more stable base and let her claws dig into the ground. With her forelegs in the air she lunged for Torrent's neck, hoping to wrap her forelegs around the woman's neck. At the same time she reached with her open jaws toward the right side of Torrent's neck to try and land a bite there at the same time.

With her head held at a regal angle, Torrent strode through the crowd to reach the ring for her spar, the first she'd really participated in without her family involved. She came to stand before her opponent, eyeing her expressionlessly while the Valhallan alpha made her way out of the ring. Asriel crouched off to one side behind her, his heavy tail twitching as they waited. At Aurielle's sudden call of fight Torrent braced herself with her claws digging into the dirt. Sure enough, her smaller opponent came leaping towards her, going so far as to try to wrap her paws around Torrent's neck. Rather than allow it, Torrent slammed forward in an attempt to counter the last leap before Elba could finish rising up to grab at her. She'd take the bite as a gash along her neck if they collided, but the pain was acceptable. She bared her long fangs in a vicious grin, the only emotive expression she'd borne up to this point, and snapped her own jaws forward, seeking to slash at the other wolf's face. Whether the wolf took the bite or flinched away didn't matter so much - Torrent would find another chance to sink her teeth in. Asriel remained where he was, though he shifted his weight in preparation to spring.

Torrents shove hit her before she was able to get a good hold around the larger woman's neck and even though her teeth did end up scraping the woman's neck, Elba still ended up stumbling backward. She tried to save her balance and failed so the shove toppled her backward and she fell down onto her side with a thud. It knocked the air out of her a bit, but she was very quick in scrambling to her paws so she wouldn't give the other woman a chance to try and pin her down from his position. She didn't really notice the fact that her fall had put her out of range of Torrent trying to bite at her face - she was too focused on getting herself upright again and getting her defenses reset. She was determined to not let this small setback deter her though so she immediately launched into another attack, this time keeping all four paws on the ground. She attempted to duck past the larger woman to her right, using a few quick leaps in the hope of moving fast enough that she might not be able to stop her. She aimed a bite toward Torrent's back leg on her right side, hoping to let her teeth latch on to the lower part of the limb just below the knee.

Her shove flung the smaller female to the ground, but she managed to bounce back to her feet before the slower Torrent could follow up in a pounce. She came on again, and again Torrent braced herself, but Elba shot past her rather than seeking to meet her chest to chest again. As Elba's jaws moved towards her leg, Torrent slammed that leg forward, seeking to jam it into Elba's maw until her jaws were forced open, rather than able to close. As she did, she aimed a slashing bite of her own reaching over top of Elba's back to the ribcage on the opposite side, seeking to slice her saberteeth along them. Asriel chose the moment to spring, claws extended as he attempted to pounce and sink them into her hips.
